Pros (+) The hotel was located very close to downtown, with tons of restaurants and bars at our doorstep. Our room (a triple) was huge, with a very nice, large bathroom and even a sort of living room. Everything seemed clean.

The light above the bathroom sink had come out of the wall and was flickering because of a bad connection. Overall the hotel seemed a bit dirty; just small impressions like the stainless steel elevators being covered in finger prints.
